"What construction company?"

"I don't know."

Nicole decided to not question her anymore becoming frustrated with Cleo's evasive answers.

The night went like usual and after Cleo came from her food and cigarette run, Nicole left. While she was walking home, she had this strange feeling someone was watching her. Hurrying up her step, she got home safely and didn't think anymore about it.

She changed Nanna's sheet and fed her grandmother until the exhausted woman fell asleep. Nanna's breathing was very shallow and Nicole prayed at her grandmother's beside that hope for a new heart would come soon. Losing the only person in the world to care for her, would be devastating.

After coming Nanna's stringy hair, she went out to the garage where she knew the student she tutored had left any assignments or letters about her reports.

There was a letter from the school she was getting her degree out of.
